Gallagher signs 6-year @ $6.5M AAV
- Thread starter Sal_Butera
- Start date
What a moronic move
You give him a massive raise for a declining asset in a few years
You just signed your insurance players at the right money and cave into Gally , dumb .

That's the issue. His new deal will start when his prime is ending.
That's next level awesomeness!
Its more than that Jack
There is no fuken upside to his game ......only eventual decline
Your not signing Svechnikov to a massive increase where he could be a top 10 winger in the game for a decade
Team isnt winning a cup in the next 3-4 years while our vets are done like dinner on albatross deals
WTF you paying Nick if he has a monster year and leads our team in scoring
Perfect opportunity to take a team behind the barn and score another great trade
This is like Philly giving Hayes a 7 year deal part 2 ..........disaster ending
I give him 1 year into his deal when the wheels fall off
If this team was a legit contender you go all in and if it fails , fuk it you start over
This isnt the player that moves any needle with us
Nero added solid depth pieces , he had a great offseason til this crap
If he was a pure sniper , a top 3D , a playoff difference maker , or 24 years old entering his prime its a non issue
It's a "thank you for being Brendan Gallagher" contract. This type of thing happens all the time in business, just none of us care usually because we don't follow or cheer non-sport businesses.
Gally + Price taking 17m lol that won't be pretty in 2 years

As I said in one of the numerous other threads with bad contracts given out, The Charlatan's ass is on the line.
He has two years to win. If the Habs don't make the playoffs this season, he'll be out on his ass.

I’d say his window is the next 3-4 years. After this it gets complicated.
he got busy. The team is significantly better and all this was done without giving up prospect or high picks.

and if there’s no miracle, we deal with all that ugliness a few years down the road; if things get really bad, some other GM will get a crack at it...
right now, we’re tied for 1st place, baby!
But we most likely are making the playoffs. We are in the playoff cycle now of 1st/2nd round exits again to make the fans happy.

All this whining about Gallagher who’s a consummate professional, yet no issues wanting to overpay cokehead Ruskie douchebag Radulov, who was 2-years older and looking for a long term deal. How ironic...

Gallagher value is more than just goals. Even if he regress to a 20-20 player, he'll still be quite valuable to us. Not 6.5M valuable mind you, but valuable regardless.
